Yeah but if it doesn’t help me then it’s bullshit and is a waste of time. Why is the main focus of government and society not to make my singular life better? It’s bullshit.

/s obviously lol

Yeah I understand that duplicates will pop up from different people, just found it weird that they would create 2 separate ones themselves. It’s hard to find which one to join when both are similar levels of active and I don’t love the idea of having to subscribe to both and go to both if I want to see what’s being posted. I assumed it was unfamiliarity with how the instances worked but didn’t think about seeing if kbin or lemmy would end up being more popular, that does makes sense.

very good bot

I also really liked these 2. you might want to check out ZorinOS, it’s what I’m trying out now

I was thinking the same thing, it’s counterintuitive to the whole point of Lemmy lol

I went to go see if there was any new info and just saw that as well, kind of encouraging to see it confirmed they will work with mastodon though

yeah I’m not holding my breath haha I was not expecting it to be on ActivityPub so was surprised to read that rumor, I guess we’ll find out tomorrow. I wouldn’t be shocked at all if they are very restricted or defederate basically everyone else

I have absolutely no intention of using Threads (for obvious reasons: meta data collection), but I’m interested to see if it can push the fediverse into mainstream conversation. I basically only used twitter for sports news so if those reporters end up on Threads and I can follow them from Mastodon I wouldn’t mind. Of course none of that matters if it’s not on ActivityPub like it’s rumored to be, or if they implement any kind of restrictions to users not on their instance, like following users or liking posts.
